Default Vlookup Frustration

Show your formulas, otherwise it's impossible to determine what your issue is.

Hoping someone can help me with a VLOOKUP problem. I have two simple VLOOKUPS
in my workbook. One works great, the other does not. They are virtually the
same. They both have the same set of numbers but one is reversed from the
other. Example one table looks at 123 and returns 1
124 " "
2 and so on
The other is just the opposite
looks at 1 " "
123 and so on
The problem is the second table works fine but for some reason the first one
always returns the last number in the table no matter what number number is
entered. Thanks for any help.

Default Vlookup Frustration

Thanks all, here is the formula that I am using.
=IF(A160,(VLOOKUP(A16,trucks,2)),"")
I have tried it with out the IF statement ...same problem.

Try this: =IF(A160,VLOOKUP(A16,trucks,2),"")

Note the parentheses are slightly different than what you have,
specifically, you don't need a parentheses before VLOOKUP.
